Pakistani national arrested over allegations of cheating, dowry harassment
Hyderabad, Aug 15 (PTI) A Pakistani national, who has been living here since 1998, was arrested after a case was registered against him over allegations of cheating, dowry harassment and threatening his wife, police said on Friday. Fahad (in his 30s) married a divorcee here in 2016 who later converted to Islam, they said. The couple were having disputes for the last two years. Fahad's wife allegedly caught him red-handed in the company of a woman with whom he had an extra-marital affair on Thursday and complained to Banjara Hills police. The matter was transferred to the Langar Houz police station as the couple live under its jurisdiction. Fahad's wife alleged that she was cheated by him as she was not aware of his Pakistani antecedents. She also alleged that his education certificates were fake and that he harassed her. As per preliminary information, Fahad's mother, who was born in India, married a Pakistani national in Saudi Arabia. She later acquired Pakistani citizenship. Fahad, who is currently working in a software company here, came to Hyderabad in 1998 along with his mother and his three siblings after his father passed away. Police said Fahad claimed to have obtained Indian citizenship, but did not produce any documentary evidence. Asked if he had valid documents to stay in India, a police official said the matter is under investigation. The full facts of the case would be known during the investigation, he added.

China-Pakistan Nexus Equipping Terrorists In J&K With Advanced Technology: Report
STOCKHOLM: China-Pakistan technological nexus has drastically changed the security landscape in Jammu and Kashmir, systematically equipping terrorist organisations with sophisticated military-grade communication systems and surveillance technologies, a report cited on Friday. It stated that what were once conventional insurgency tactics have now evolved into advanced digital warfare capabilities, altering the dynamics of cross-border militancy. 'The strategic alliance between Beijing and Islamabad has created a formidable supply chain for advanced military hardware. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's 2025 report, China accounted for 81 per cent of Pakistan's arms imports between 2019 and 2023, totaling approximately $5.28 billion. This partnership extends far beyond traditional weaponry, encompassing dual-use technologies that have found their way into terrorist arsenals across Kashmir," the report in European Times highlighted. According to the report, the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam underscored the extent of the technological infiltration in the region where security forces seized Huawei satellite phones, Chinese-manufactured GPS devices, body cameras, and encrypted communication systems from the attack site. These recoveries marked a shift from unsophisticated militant operations to coordinated, technology-driven warfare that capitalises on Chinese infrastructure and expertise. It further mentioned that the cutting-edge network architecture enabled terrorists to coordinate in real-time, while keeping their operations secure. The operational impact, it stated, was visible during Operation Mahadev, when Indian security forces tracked terrorists using signals from a Chinese satellite phone activated in the Baisaran area. However, the elimination of three Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives, including the alleged mastermind of the Pahalgam attack, highlighted not only technology's capabilities but also its weaknesses when effectively countered. China's engagement, the report detailed, extends beyond hardware to building a comprehensive digital infrastructure. Through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the telecom towers operated by China Mobile Pakistan (Zong) across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir provided digital coverage that reached Indian districts, including Kupwara, Rajouri, Poonch, and Uri. This network, the report said, created multiple layers of operational support for terrorist activities. It also emphasised that China's supply of sophisticated communication systems, surveillance capabilities, and weapons technology allowed Pakistan to deny any direct involvement while it escalated the lethality of terrorist operations. The China-Pakistan collaboration has led to several destabilising effects. "The entrenchment of Chinese technology in Kashmir's militant ecosystem represents more than a tactical evolution; it constitutes a strategic challenge to Indian sovereignty and regional stability. The China-Pakistan nexus has created a sophisticated support system that enhances terrorist capabilities while maintaining plausible deniability for state sponsors,' the report noted.
